3The FAA On Seatbelts
It is certainly recognized that a
person experiencing an inadvertent
parachute opening while secured by
a safety belt would suffer serious
or possibly fatal injury. On the
other hand, we have evidence to
show that accidents have been
caused by jump occupants who
were not wearing their safety belts.
The Southern Region recently
investigated two such accidents.
The pilot in each case was unable
to maintain control of the jump
aircraft because the parachutists on
board were not wearing their safety
belts. What should have been
nothing more than two minor in-
cidents resulted in serious accidents
through noncompliance with
Federal Aviation Regulation FAR!

dooers NO-ROBI r-1000'
Despite some attempts to Prove
otherwi:-T through opportunism and
commercialism, the person who labels
himself as "D. B. Cooper is--if he is
still alivr.»--no modern-day Robin Hood.
He is o thief and a criminal of the
highest order. He demonstrated more
than passing knowledge of the air en-
vironment, especially parachuting. lt
is possible that "D. B. Cooper's" path
may have crossed that of airline per-
sonnel--and airline pilots--at some
time under another name. He is re-
po'rted to have a bitter hatred against
the airlines--he may have worked for
one. V
For these reasons PILOT BULLETIN
is printing the specifications of the
criminal that extorted $209, 000 from
Northwest Airlines on Nov. 24, l97l .
Two artistdrawings of "Cooper" are
included in the hopes they may prod
the memories of ALPA members who
may have seen or known him in the
past. ' '
The Federal Bureau of investiga-
tion describes the man as follows:

ALPA PRESSES
. MID-AIR
Pointing to a "needless slaughter"
resulting from 70 midair collisions of
U. S. airliners in the past 25 years,
ALPA urged congressional action to
make collision-avoidance equipment a
mandatory requirement for all aircraft
operating in government-controlledairspace. L
ln testimony before the Senate
Subcommittee on Aviation on Dec. 'l ,
the Association emphasized the in- '-
creasing hazards of midair accidents.
A study made by the Department of
Transportation, ALPA said, proiected
that by i980 there would be approx-
imately 'lO mid-air collisions occur-
ring each year. ln l97l , there were
four such tragedies. _
Al".PA recommended two govem-
ment adtions that should be tal<en im-
mediateily to reduce or eliminate the7 V l
FOR. ACTION ON

operated within controlled airspace.
"The other action requires that ;
the Federal Aviation Administration 1
tal<e a more realistic and sophisticated
approach to inflight segregation of
military and general aviation aircraft,
from airline and other high performance
civil aircraft." '
ln addition to these recommenda- .' I
tions, ALPA asked for a live evalua-
tian of the several collision avoidance-
systems now available. Recognizing -
that installation of these systems would
entail particular burdens for light
planefowner, ALPA called for devel- 1
opment of a plan to help them financethis hardware. at °-= 4
Although ALPA does not endorse _ ~
any particular equipment nqw. being ~_ 1
offered as solutions to the collision
problem, it supported the Senate bill - . ll .
